Method
Rinse the short-grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
Put the rice and water in a saucepan and simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
Pour in the milk and caster sugar and bring to a gentle boil, stirring so the rice doesn't catch on the base of the pan.
Stir the cornflour paste into the pan.
Simmer the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Divide the pudding between individual baking dishes.
Place the dishes under a hot grill until the tops are caramelized in deep golden patches, watching closely so they don't burn.
Once cool, cover the dishes and refrigerate for at least four hours, or overnight, until fully chilled before serving.
